KUALA LUMPUR, Thurs:
Pas president Datuk Seri Hadi Awang first postulated the idea yesterday but the fledgling Parti Mahasiswa Negara has joined up – they all want to take on Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in
his parliamentary constituency of Kepala Batas.
While PMN, now in the process of being registered, intends to contest in Kepala Batas, the party has yet to decide on the candidate to challenge the Prime Minister, said PMN pro-tem president
Azian Zainal.
The party also claims a membership of 3,000 comprising graduates, academicians and intellectuals.

PASIR MAS: Menteri Pengajian Tinggi, Datuk Mustapa Mohamed mendedahkan sekumpulan pelajar dan graduan universiti awam mengemukakan permohonan kepada Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) pada 7
Januari lalu untuk mengambil bahagian dalam pilihan raya umum akan datang.
Beliau yang menyifatkan tindakan penuntut terbabit sebagai 'melampau' dan terang-terangan melanggar peraturan ditetapkan universiti bagaimanapun enggan mendedahkan nama universiti
terbabit.
"Kita sudah mengarahkan Naib Canselor universiti terbabit melakukan siasatan lanjut dan mengambil tindakan sewajarnya," katanya kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan Karnival Modal Insan
anjuran Biro Tatanegara dengan kerjasama Majlis Pemuafakatan PIBG DUN Chetok, di Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Kangkong, di sini, semalam.
Mustapa berkata, pelajar universiti dan institusi pengajian tinggi (IPT) tidak sepatutnya terbabit secara langsung dalam politik, khususnya membantu kempen parti tertentu menjelang pilihan
raya umum.
Sehubungan itu, beliau berkata, semua Naib Canselor di 20 universiti awam sudah diberikan kuasa penuh memantau pelakuan pelajar, termasuk mengambil tindakan tegas seperti dibuang universiti
jika didapati terbabit dalam kempen politik.
Katanya, sebagai pelajar mereka sepatutnya menumpukan sepenuh perhatian terhadap pengajian demi masa depan diri dan keluarga.
"Bila mengundi, itu hak masing-masing, tapi kita (pelajar) tidak boleh terbabit secara langsung dalam politik, pelajar kena akur dengan peraturan ditetapkan.
"Jika ingkar, tindakan tegas dikenakan. Lepas habis universiti nanti, nak buat apa, buatlah... jangan kecewakan harapan kerajaan dan ibu bapa yang mahu melihat kita belajar dan menjadi insan
berguna," katanya.
Mustapa berkata, pelajar universiti yang didapati terbabit dalam sebarang program berbentuk kepartian boleh dikenakan tindakan mengikut Seksyen 15 Akta Kolej dan Universiti (AUKU).

PUTRAJAYA: Newly-formed Parti Mahasiswa Negara plans to contest in the coming general election even if it cannot be registered in time for it.
Its pro tem president Azlan Zainal said the multiracial party, comprising young graduates, would not join any existing party but its candidates would stand as independents.
“Matters like funding and the areas we will be contesting will be looked into later,” he said yesterday, adding that an application to register the party was sent to the Federal
Territory branch of the Registrar of Societies last Friday.
He was speaking to reporters outside the Home Affairs Ministry building here yesterday.
Azlan said the party had 2,000 young multiracial graduates as members.
When asked why the name of the party reflected its members as university students, he said their aim was to recruit students into the party despite knowing that it was against the University
and University Colleges Act.
